Questions About Our Programs?
Find answers about open swim sessions, water aerobics classes, and master swimmer meetups for adults 40 and over.
Not at all. We've got open swim sessions for confident swimmers, water aerobics classes that work for all fitness levels, and master swimmer meetups for experienced swimmers. Start wherever you are—most people in our 40+ community are rebuilding swimming skills or trying water fitness for the first time.
Open swim is unstructured time to swim at your own pace—perfect for lap swimming and practicing technique. Water aerobics classes are instructor-led group fitness sessions with choreographed movements that build cardio and strength without impact on your joints. Pick one or both depending on your goals.
Most locations offer water aerobics 3–5 times per week with flexible drop-in options. Open swim sessions typically run daily during set hours, so you can fit them into your schedule. We also organize master swimmer meetups based on local demand. Check with your nearest pool location for exact schedules.
Absolutely. Water provides natural resistance—about 12 times more than air—so your muscles work harder while your joints stay protected. You'll get real cardiovascular benefits and strength gains, plus the buoyancy means less stress on knees, hips, and shoulders. People often see improved endurance and feel stronger within 4–6 weeks.
Water is ideal for managing arthritis—the buoyancy supports your joints while you move, and the resistance strengthens muscles around them. Water aerobics is specifically designed for low-impact fitness, and instructors can modify movements for your comfort. Many members tell us the water has reduced their pain and improved mobility.
